I have watched so many videos from Portland. Of people protesting while on inflatable dinosaur or unicorn costumes, and people going about their daily lives, going into shops that don't have plywood anywhere in sight.

They are outright lying to you, and trying to suppress tiktok to hide the truth.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Even though someone started the Pacific Palisades fire, it still whipped up because of climate change. It's not one of the other...

I've seen way too many people who seem to think it's one or the other, and then go on to say Spencer Pratt is right. (He isn't. You just want a conspiracy theory)

Private jets? The lack of public transportation?

No, it must be people with asthma destroying the environment. (Do better, CNN. This study needed no amplification)

The a-ha would be chilling slow.

I set up cameras on the backyard to capture our feral population to see what's going on.

Last night we had a young possum, a cat I suspect is Ash's sibling, and two raccoons.

Busy busy.

know what, fuck it, putting some alt text on this

2 years later

Having surgery soon to remove the very large simple cyst that's making my life really annoying.

I'm at the point where I wish it was just done already. (I had to wait the whole summer to get it scheduled)

People who delete comments when they realize they're wrong and try to gaslight you after are the weirdest.

It's been 4 months and I still have people telling me that pointe shoes shouldn't be gatekept.

Sure, injure yourself for the aesthetic. Just so you can cosplay Gwen accurately. 🙄

(Psst, you DO need years of training to go en pointe. You need strength in your feet and ankles)

Every day I pass by a small church that I already knew was evangelical. Today they have a "we're a turning points faith church" sign out in front. With logos and urls.

So, that's... a thing that's happening now.

Nexstar also owns the CW itself.

Sinclair and Nexstar do not just own ABC affiliates. They own local stations tied to all the major networks. Nexstar also owns the CW.

So if you're looking for advertisers to complain to, check your local stations to see which are Nexstar or Sinclair and go from there. In LA, KTLA is Nexstar.

"I want an easy background show..."

Then it has to be a show you've watched a million times before, sorry.

That silly little picture you generated is cranking up energy costs, hurting artists, and adding absolutely nothing to the world.

I sent a snap of a burning car on the side of the freeway to my husband. But I hadn't realized I made it extra dramatic because I was blasting the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack. (Barbossa is Hungry, if you're wondering what track)

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

I saw a tiktok in which someone was laughing at a job listing along for 10 years experience in AI/ML. Because to them, AI is just LLMs, and not an entire field of work that has existed for ages.

I really hope that person isn't in tech.

"Porn bans" ALWAYS lead to trans bans

Michigan bill seeks to lock up trans people for posting selfies.

I hope you all read this from me.

Boy crap read this thread . Folks have been in the trenches . And it says something that while folks know the t-shirt bled of the VC’s

We haven’t talked to the folks around them

GOOD NEWS: Despite RFK Jr saying he would cancel $500 million in mRNA research, the House Committee on Appropriations has passed a spending package, that includes $1.1 billion for “advanced research and development” at BARDA, which includes research on mRNA vaccines.

This is incorrect: (1) Department of War was just the Army, not the Navy and Marine Corps; and (2) the President does not have the authority, only Congress can make that change in the law. Be better, @npr.org.

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announces end of 'all' vaccine mandates Officials announced the establishment of the Florida Make America Healthy Again commission Wednesday, with a major announcement that includes the end of vaccine mandates in the state.

Most of my family lives in Florida. When they ask whether I'd ever move back, I often say its not safe for kids (citing shool shootings and LGBTQ policies). Can add one more bullet point to the list. flvoicenews.com/florida-gene...

Photo of a white fluffy cat with a surgical cone. He lays on a sinking room table bench, and looks at the camera with an annoyed look.

A black and white cat lays under a raised treadmill, giving the camera and annoyed look. She wears a surgical cone.

An olive tabby cat perches on top of a litter box, wearing a surgical cone and staring off into the distance with an annoyed glare.

An olive tabby cat lays on top of a table with one paw stretched out towards the camera, while wearing a surgical cone. She has an angry look on her face.

My four loves, all giving me the stink eye.

Oh absolutely. They put on a pathetic act in the hope that I'll spoil them.

Definitely an unpopular and PROBLEMATIC take.

Deaths is not the measure for Covid.

Every infection leaves cumulative damage on every system until something breaks.

This is the true measure of Covid.

The actual worst of it is still happening. Deaths are flashy. Slow cumulative damage is not.

Today is cone day (my cats get their flea treatment and since they love each other a lot, it's just easier to put a cone on them for 24 hours rather than seperate them). Everyone is mad at me, but wants pets and cuddles.
